Re: Gaspar Sanz
@Wai Thanks, Wai. I think you could play it, especially if you leave out or simplify the ornaments (which are not necessary). Bradford Werner has a good lesson on it on his website and on YouTube.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. In general, I did play around a lot with the ornaments, often substituting a trill with an appoggiatura when I couldn’t get the trill to sound good.…

Re: Gaspar Sanz
@Blaise Laflamme Thank you, Blaise! That's exactly what I am trying to do here. Since they are relatively simple pieces, I am trying to be more attentive to the details.

Re: Eric's Lute Corner
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. I think da Milano and Dowland are the real gold standard of the era. I better work on some Dowland!

Re: Gaspar Sanz
Fuga al ayre Español (Aug 25) Here is an update of this piece. It feels fairly secure under the fingers now. I had a dynamic plan, but listening back to myself, I need make it more clear (as usual).

Re: Gaspar Sanz
@Wai Thanks, Wai! I remember how well you played Espanoleta. Sanz wrote this for the baroque guitar, but I suppose there would be no reason not to play it on a lute. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Re: Gaspar Sanz
@joosje Thanks, Joosje. I had heard the Rodrigo years ago, but only heard the Sanz original this week. Great intermediate piece for exploring polyphony and experimenting with fingerings.…

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Wai I don't play much modern music either. I was actually more into it in college. I always like trying to play very different types of music though.

Two Pieces by Hans Judenkönig These come from a self-instruction manual published by Judenkönig around 1515. I have already recorded the second piece, but it makes a nice pairing with the first one…

Re: Gaspar Sanz
Fuga al ayre Espanol (Aug 23) Rodrigo uses this for the second movement of Fantasia para un Gentilhombre, which he calls Ricercare. I'm not sure if it really is a true fugue in the formal sense,…
